(314) 500-HURTYou often see bumper stickers imploring drivers to “start seeing motorcycles.” Unfortunately, all too often we hear
about motorcycle accidents caused by drivers failing to keep a careful lookout. Burger Law handles all types of motorcycle accident cases, and last week Attorney Michael Sheldon obtained a policy limits settlement
for our client, Verna.
Verna was riding on the back of her husband’s motorcycle. As her husband had a green traffic arrow and was turning
left, another driver improperly attempted to merge into the turn lane. Verna’s husband had to slam on the brakes to
avoid a collision, which caused the motorcycle to nosedive and fall to the road on its left side. Verna fractured
her ankle in the accident.
The at-fault driver’s insurance company initially only accepted 50% liability, claiming that because there was no
contact between the vehicles, Verna’s husband was half at fault for the crash. We disputed this, arguing to the
insurance adjuster that regardless of contact, the other driver was fully at fault because he improperly attempted
to merge into the turn lane at the last minute and blocked the driving path of Verna’s husband.
After fighting the insurance company on liability, we were able to secure a full policy limits settlement of $100K
for Verna. This case is another example of why it is important to hire abn attorney when an insurance company
refuses to accept liability or offer a fair amount of money to fully compensate you for your injuries. We take pride
in fighting for our clients, and we were happy to get Verna the compensation she deserved.
